NIGP 57827: Dehydrating Machines and Parts

NIGP 57827 Dehydrating Machines and Parts is an Item code covering equipment and components used to remove moisture from materials or products in state and local operations. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code captures a narrow range of actual procurements; the most recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect traditional dehydrating equipment but instead represent broader categorical procurement vehicles. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing entity, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, on behalf of multiple jurisdictions to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofits, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. The City of DeBary, Florida posted an IFB (Bid 03-15) for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation system improvements, an infrastructure project involving Hunter irrigation controllers and components rather than dehydrating machinery. The scope mismatch between the NIGP code definition and recent postings suggests minimal active procurement volume under this specific commodity line in state and local markets at this time.

Activity under 57827 spans multiple jurisdictions including Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and Florida municipalities, with Sourcewell serving as a cooperative purchasing conduit for participating entities. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 closed June 16, 2026, while the City of DeBary irrigation project carried an April 10, 2015 deadline (an apparent historical record rather than current opportunity). Geographic spread is limited; recent opportunities do not signal concentrated demand for dehydrating equipment across multiple state or regional markets.
